Clinical Practice Guidelines & Textbooks

HERL research has helped to drive the publication of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). CPGs are recommendations to healthcare providers based on current research findings that expert methodologists have graded for their scientific strength and validity. The CPGs and companion consumer guides for people with SCI are available for free download from the Paralyzed Veterans of America at pva.org.HERL-affiliated experts have also edited and contributed to textbooks published by the U.S. Army Medical Department’s Borden Institute (http://www.cs.amedd.army.mil/borden/), specifically Care of the Combat Amputee, published in 2009 as part of the “Textbooks of Military Medicine” series, and the Warrior Transition Leader Medical Rehabilitation Handbook in 2011.
